Mary Lucille Bales Wiseman

"It is with great sadness that our family announces the passing of our mother, grandmother, sister, and aunt, Mary Lucille (Bales) Wiseman, on December 16, 2024 at the age of 71 after a hard-fought battle with cancer. She was born September 27, 1953, in Marion, Indiana, daughter of the late Sylvan and Marilyn Bales.

Mary is preceded in death by her daughter, Cortney Brooke Perry and sister, Sidney (Phil) Goulooze. She is survived by daughters Monica (Ruben) Garcia, Kelsey Perry, Kaelee (Joie) Torbet; grandchildren Brookelynn and Blake Weaver, Lennon, Bronson, Ruben III (Stephanie) and Conner Garcia, Caliana Perry and Caya Harris, Amelia Alston; great-grandson Roland Garcia; 5 sisters and 2 brothers, Sylvia Munson, Nelson (Ligaya) Bales, Cathy (Dennis) George, Taffy Schutt, Carol (Rick) Waswick, Stephenie Marlow, and Greg (Kim) Bales.

Mary, known as Mare Mare by all who loved her, also leaves many beloved nieces, nephews, great-nieces, great-nephews, friends, family members, and bonus grandchildren who will all greatly miss her.

She was a proud member of West Haven Baptist Church in Lebanon, TN, loved God, and always had a thirst for knowledge. She was smart. She enjoyed cooking, reading, swimming, word games, watching crime shows and Christmas movies. Her greatest joy came from her children and grandchildren. She was a selfless caretaker and a support system to all who needed her. She had a gift for making people feel special and accepted. She was funny. Despite her many hardships, she carried herself with grace and always remained optimistic. To know Mare Mare was to love her."

Romans 8:18 - For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us.
